Writing to Learn in Anatomy and Physiology.
Wilcox, Kimberly J.; Jensen, Murray S.
Research and Teaching in Developmental Education, v16 n2 p55-71 Spr 2000
Examines the effectiveness of two writing-to-learn formats in helping developmental students master biological information and in decreasing writing anxiety. Objective measures showed a small but significant decrease in writing anxiety over the quarter, unrelated to writing format. Writing format also had little effect on content knowledge, based on responses to test questions. Contains 25 references. (VWC)
